CollectionReference

A CollectionReference can be used for adding documents, getting document references, and querying for documents (using the methods inherited from Query).

Subclassing Note: Firestore classes are not meant to be subclassed except for use in test mocks. Subclassing is not supported in production code and new SDK releases may break code that does so.
